I've posted this here before. Fox is untrue about 60% of the time compared to 20% for CNN.. Cable news sucks in general, but CNN is not that bad as these things go.
This is the problem with most discourse on the internet. Not picking a fight, just pointing out a fact. You linked to a horribly left leaning, democrat funded website and use that as your basis of "fact" without taking into consideration the source.
Of course Politifact is going to say that the right leaning news organization is wrong most of the time. It's called control.
Again, sources. Where are your sources that Politifact is "democrat funded?"
Please cite a source that isn't very clearly biased, such as The Blaze.
Here you go, Politifact's own website. Politifact
Democracy Fund was started by Pierre Omidyar, EBay founder. Huffington Post Op Ed by Pierre OmidyarDemocracy fund also was a major donor of the HRC campaign.
All using left leaning sources.
Edited for format
None of the links you posted supports your claim. "Who pays for Politifact" shows a variety of sources, most of which fund other media outlets, none of them left wing. The Democracy Fund also supports nonpartisan clients exclusively: Aspen Institute, Pew, Bipartisan Policy Center,etc. And third party evaluations of Politifact return unbiased ratings.
As for that Op Ed, he's advocating for transparency and effectiveness in government. How are those things left wing? And any smart person would donate to HRC to prevent a Trump presidency. You don't need to be left wing for that, just smart.
RIP RedEye9. We miss you.
